“…The total duration of treatment was 28.7±5.6 weeks (range 20.1-40.3 weeks) and involved a mean of 4.6±3.2 cycles of methotrexate (range 0-9) and 6.6±1.4 cycles of cisplatin, ifosfamide, and vindesine (range [4][5][6][7][8][9]. Since vindesine has a low nephrotoxic potential, this drug was not evaluated as a possible cause of renal dysfunction in the present series.…”

“…High-dose methotrexate is also considered toxic to renal tubules, and acute renal failure responsible for subsequent accumulation of the drug has been reported [4,5]. The combination of cisplatin and ifosfamide is particularly hazardous, since evidence suggests that ifosfamide nephrotoxicity is possibly potentiated by cisplatin [6][7][8][9].…”

The acute renal effects of chemotherapy are known, but long-term nephrotoxicity has rarely been investigated. The aim of the present study was to assess long-term renal function in children and adolescents who received at-risk chemotherapy, including cisplatin, ifosfamide, and methotrexate, to treat an osteosarcoma. Renal function tests [creatinine clearance, microalbuminuria, and renal excretion of sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), and uric acid] were prospectively performed 5.4+/-2.2 (+/-SD) years after chemotherapy (total cumulative dose: methotrexate 41+/-31 g/m2, ifosfamide 39+/-14 g/m2, cisplatin 674+/-188 mg/m2) in 18 children and adolescents. The results were compared with 13 normal volunteers matched for age and sex. Creatinine clearance, which was greater than 80 ml/min per 1.73 m2 in all patients, correlated with the total dose of ifosfamide (r=0.55, P<0.05) and cisplatin (r=0.48, P<0.05). Microalbuminuria was noted in 4 patients. Hypomagnesemia was present in 4 and hypercalciuria in 3 patients; renal excretion of P, Mg, and uric acid was higher in patients than in controls. Glomerular function was not significantly altered and only mild tubular dysfunction was present. Since renal excretion of P and Mg were increased in patients compared with normal volunteers and hypercalciuria was occasionally seen, divalent ion disorders are the most-likely potential complications.

“…In essence, the Zionists in Palestine believed that life away from Israel was necessarily flawed and abnormal—a reality in which the true character of the Jewish nation could not come to full expression (Raz-Krakotzkin 1993). Jewish Americans, in contrast, saw the United States as their home and, by-and-large, embraced American ideals (Goren 1982; Heinze 1990; Hertzberg 1998). While some American Jews identified with the Zionist movement, they typically believed that the duty to settle in Palestine was reserved for Jews from less fortunate places, not for themselves.…”

“…In general, Jewish Americans embraced the American dream (Heinze 1990; Kibler 2003, 249). Worthy were those self-made men who climbed up the economic ladder (Goren 1982, 74–5; 1999, 100–1). The ideal Jewish American man, however, was not simply rich.…”

Masculinities in Interaction

This article examines how different groups of men negotiate and produce distinct masculinities in actual encounters. The article studies the establishment of the United Jewish Appeal (UJA) during the 1940s and focuses on how American and Israeli Jews interacted in fund-raising events. It identifies the threats to the masculine faces of these groups that arose in this setting and examines the organizational practices that were developed in order to allow these groups to cooperate and coproduce their distinct models of masculinity. Exploring masculinities in interaction highlights the importance of concrete organizational practices and monetary transactions, in particular, for the construction of masculinities. Specific discursive and organizational arrangements allow actors to act in a masculine manner and receive affirmation for their masculine claims. In the case examined here, specific discursive practices and the temporal and spatial organization of fund-raising events eased the tensions between two distinct groups of men and allowed them to maintain their distinct and potentially conflicting masculinities.
